Separate the remaining bottles in two batches.

Fold your wires in half, keeping the curve at the end.

Take one of the finished Snakes.
Loop and twist one of your wires over the bottom of the end bottle of the Snake, again using the indentation a guide.
Put one of the loose bottles next to this one and twist the ends around the second bottle, continue with the third bottle and so on, until you reach your last bottle and make your twist.

Get the other Snake and make your last wrap around the end bottle and make a double twist.

Bend the wire ends toward the mouth of the bottle to keep them out of your way.

The connections to the Snakes will allow you to angle your corners.

To complete your rectangle or square:
Take  the loose end of one of the Snakes.
Loop and twist your wire over the bottom of the end bottle of the Snake, again using the lowest indentation a guide.
Put one of the loose bottles next to this one and twist the ends around the second bottle, continue with the third bottle and so on, until you reach your last bottle.
Make one more twist.

Get the other loose end Snake and make your last wrap around the end bottle and make a double twist. 

Using your pliers, curl or bend the ends of the wire in a decorative way or you can just snip them off and bend them so they won't poke you.
